Pine Point boat launch
Pine Point
Pine Point Boat Ramp provides access to the Pine Point Bay on the northeast side of the White Earth Reservation. The bay is part of the White Earth Lake and is popular for fishing and water-based recreation. According to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the lake provides habitat for a variety of fish species, including walleye, northern pike, and yellow perch.
As for watercraft, Pine Point Boat Ramp is suitable for launching small to medium-sized boats, canoes, and kayaks. However, there are no restrictions on the type of watercraft that are permitted on the lake. It is important to note that watercraft should be properly registered and equipped with the appropriate safety equipment before launching into the water.
In summary, Pine Point Boat Ramp is a concrete launch ramp with parking for approximately 20 vehicles and trailers. It provides access to Pine Point Bay on the northeast side of the White Earth Reservation in Minnesota. The ramp is approximately 12 feet wide and can accommodate small to medium-sized boats, canoes, and kayaks.

Boating safety & etiquette
- Check the conditions before you launch
- Use the streamflow numbers, weather, and wind forecast on this page. High-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
- Wear your life jacket
- Statistically the single biggest survival factor in a boating incident. State law often requires one per passenger.
- File a float plan
- Tell someone on shore your put-in, take-out, and expected return time. Especially for multi-day or remote trips.
- Yield at the ramp
- Prep gear in the parking lot, not on the ramp. Launch and clear quickly so others can use the lane.
- Clean, drain, dry
- Inspect, clean, drain and dry your boat between waters to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.
Set push alerts in the Snoflo app
Save Pine Point as a favorite, set a discharge threshold or a wind/precipitation alert, and the iOS app will push the moment conditions cross.
About Pine Point
Can I launch a motorboat here?
Most Snoflo-tracked launches support motorboats; check the operator for any horsepower restrictions, paddle-only zones, or seasonal closures.
How fresh is the streamflow data?
USGS streamgauges report continuously (every 15 minutes); the table on this page pulls the latest reading at page load.
Is there a fee?
Many federal and state boat launches charge a day-use fee. Check the operator's site before driving out.
What boat is right for these conditions?
Use the nearby streamflow numbers and river-run panel on this page to gauge current conditions. Wider, slower water is friendly for casual paddling and powerboats; high-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
Can I get alerts when conditions change?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this launch, set a threshold (discharge, wind), and you'll get a push the moment it crosses.
